Jessica Simpson is back on our screens, and this time, she’s teaming up with none other than Kim Kardashian.
The pop icon and fashion mogul has confirmed she appears in an episode of All’s Fair, the highly anticipated Ryan Murphy legal drama that already boasts a stacked cast including Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash, Teyana Taylor, Sarah Paulson, and Glenn Close. And if you think Jessica played it safe, think again. She’s calling her role “very crazy”, and she absolutely loved it.
Speaking with Extra, Jessica couldn’t stop gushing about her time filming All’s Fair, especially working with her longtime friend Kim Kardashian. “I did an episode of All’s Fair, and what a show! I mean, great cast. It is so fun … I didn’t want it to end,” she said. She also added how thankful she was that Ryan Murphy thought of her for the show, which clearly made a lasting impression.
When asked how she landed the gig, Jessica gave the kind of answer only Hollywood veterans give with a laugh: “Just his people called my people.” She also hinted that Kim Kardashian may have had a little influence behind the scenes. “Also, like, I’m friends with Kim. I don’t know if it was her idea at all, but definitely, I was glad she was on set and we had scenes together.” It sounds like their friendship got some serious screen time.
Jessica Simpson and Kim Kardashian on All’s Fair might sound like a pop culture fever dream, but according to Jess, it was the real deal. She even called out how fun it was to act opposite Naomi Watts, saying, “It was amazing. I mean, Naomi Watts, like, we all had a blast.” But it wasn’t just a glam cameo, Jessica’s part sounds like it’s got serious edge. “The director, Anthony Hemingway, he made me feel so comfortable being crazy, because my role is very crazy,” she revealed.
The new series is turning out to be a major Hollywood moment. And while Jessica’s appearance is just for one episode, her praise for the show and its team shows how big of a deal this is. Add Kim Kardashian to the mix, and it becomes one of the most talked-about sets in town. Jessica Simpson and Kim Kardashian in All’s Fair? It’s giving A-list chaos, and we’re here for it.
Meanwhile, Glenn Close is also singing Kim Kardashian’s praises, proving Kim’s acting chops are earning legit respect. The 78-year-old Oscar-nominated actress, who’s also part of the All’s Fair cast, said she was curious to meet Kim and ended up being majorly impressed. In her words, “I would not presume to give Kim Kardashian advice. I think she’s a very, very brilliant woman.” Glenn called her a great executive and a focused mother and even pointed out that Kim’s studying law. Basically, she’s not surprised if Kim takes over Hollywood next.
Glenn, who’s starred alongside the biggest names in the industry, said working with Kim on All’s Fair was a fresh experience for her too. “I had never done a Ryan Murphy show before, which is a whole other universe,” she shared. “I had to find my feet.” And apparently, Kim was right there in that same universe, holding her own.
With Jessica Simpson diving into a “crazy” role, Kim Kardashian sharing screen time with major legends, and Glenn Close calling Kim brilliant, All’s Fair is shaping up to be one of the buzziest shows of the year. And honestly, who would’ve thought we’d be getting Jessica Simpson, Kim Kardashian, and Naomi Watts in the same scene?
Whether this one-episode cameo reignites Jessica’s acting streak or not, it’s clear she had the time of her life, and we’re all dying to see just how wild her role gets.
